Though I’m sure it’d be as flavourful without.I’ve just discovered your blog, it’s quickly becoming one of my faves. I’ll be trying a lot of your recipes in the upcoming weeks. Thank you!……” — Diarra

“You’ve outdone yourself with this recipe, dear Karina. For one, my husband is super picky with food, and he could not fault this, and even went for thirds ! Thank you for turning me into a skilled cook with your excellent recipes. My friends even think I’m going to cooking school, and I have you to thank!…….” Alice (Facebook)

“I have never tried tequila on chicken, and being that this was my first try, I loved it! Especially when mixed in through the avocado. you are amazing! I am looking forward to trying more of your recipes. Your blog and photography is so inviting, thank you for all of your hard work and dedication. New reader and fan from NZ…….” — Sharon (Facebook)

“I made this wonderful salad for dinner post-workout. It was so flavorful, and refreshing. I loved the aroma and how colorful everything was. The grilled pepper adds such a hearty kick, and the cumin in the marinade is reminiscent of chimichurri sauce. It was very filling, too. I would totally make this again. I would suggest crunchy tortilla strips as a garnish, but not necessary. Overall this was slammin. I am planning to make some more of these salads in your article. How fun!………” — Charise

“I thought your Honey Mustard Chicken Salad was the queen of the Nile but OMGeeeeeee…..this puts that one to shame.Not a huge fan of chicken thighs but figured I’d give it a try anyways. Wanted to make exactly and give a fair review. So glad I did. EXCELLENT! I don’t think the breast would be aso juicy or flavorful if I substituted them.I LOVE your recipes. Only complaint I have is I didn’t find you sooner………” — Patricia

“I made this over memorial day weekend and loved that you didn’t add heavy cream or cool whip. This is exactly a recipe I’ve been searching for. like a cheesecake in a bowl with fresh strawberries but without all the work. I loved the coconut element. Overall great recipe! My mom even loved this, which is saying a lot for someone who normally hates coconut…….” — Emily (Facebook)
